While Chanel’s new Rouge Allure Velvet Nuit Blanche collection nods to the hours post-midnight and pre-morning—a shade for every hour—it’s not unlikely Margot Robbie has been used all in succession. Yes, flying between timezones will do that and the 33-year-old star has sure been busy of late: there was the tremendously fast-paced and stylish Barbie press tour, the Saltburn premiere, the AACTAs, the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, the BAFTAs, the SAGs, the list goes on.

The new collection—presented in an exclusive white case with black trimming—begins with a deep, provocative red (and no house does a red like Chanel), before moving into burnt orange for those 1am and 2am dance floors. A fuchsia comes in at 3am to liven up the night before melting into warm browns, burnished rosewoods and soft pinks reminiscent of the break of dawn.

“Night. That magical time when the city lights up and comes to life to the sound of heels clicking across the cobblestones,” reads the presser. “At the heart of the evening excitement, ROUGE ALLURE VELVET sets the pace for a night without limits.”

While you don’t need to be clicking a heel on a Manhattan pavement like Robbie to feel the joy of clicking a Chanel lipstick closed, trust us when we say, you will love this new collection just as much as you enjoyed Betina Goldstein mixing up Robbie’s nail colour to match those vintage Barbie jelly shoes this week—courtesy of the French house, of course.
